Death swamp, the top of the giant tree.
Lu Xueqi, Faxiang, Lin Jingyu, and Zeng Shushu slowly landed on a huge messy tree trunk. They saw cracks all over the surroundings and countless broken branches. The fight between the beasts was shocking.
But at this moment, their attention is obviously more focused on the few people in front of them.
Fa Xiang frowned slightly, and fell silent. These people in front of him, he had seen before during the battle between Liubo Mountain and Qingyun Mountain in the East China Sea, they were obviously Ghost King Sect Master Ghost King and his two capable subordinates, Qinglong and Youji, and now they are no longer what they used to be. It can be said that the strength of Gui Li is far superior to his own.
It's a pity that after climbing the tree, at the fork, they searched separately from Qingyunmen Xiao Yicai, Fenxianggu Li Xun, Yan Hong and others, otherwise although they may not be able to defeat these four people, they will eventually have the strength to fight.
But thinking about it this way, Ghost King Zong didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything immediately.
Ghost Dynasty's law minister glanced at the four people, then asked Gui Li indifferently: "Tell me, how are we going to deal with these people?"
Gui Li didn't answer immediately, but looked at the ghost king. I saw the ghost king's face was kind, seemingly peaceful, but there was a faint flash of sharpness in his eyes. After a while, he said calmly: "Since you are here, suzerain, naturally all matters will be decided by the suzerain."
Qinglong standing next to him frowned slightly, the black veil on You Ji's face seemed to shake slightly, and he looked towards Gui Li.
The ghost king's expression didn't change much, with a smile still hanging on his mouth, he said slowly: "When you came to this dead marsh that day, I said that everything here is up to you. Qinglong, Youji and I came to So, it’s just to catch this yellow bird. You have the final say on these four righteous people! Whatever you want, you can do it.”
"Pooh!"
Suddenly, a disdainful cold snort came from the front.
Everyone looked forward, but Lin Jingyu's complexion was as frosty, and he said coldly: "Monsters and evil ways, if they have the guts, they will come up to their lives and die, why should they be there like a woman chewing their tongues, it's ridiculous!"
As soon as these words came out, Qinglong's complexion sank first, but Ghost King looked at Lin Jingyu from a distance, but instead of being angry, he smiled, turned his head and said to Guili: "This person must be Lin Jingyu! Is it your childhood friend?"
Gui Li's heart trembled. Today, Lin Jingyu's reputation is not very famous, but for some reason, the ghost king can recognize him at a glance. He looked at the ghost king's slight smile, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The Ghost King looked at him and said calmly: "Speak up! How to do it?"
Gui Li met his gaze, looked at each other calmly, said: "The things here are mostly completed, these people are not important roles, so don't worry about it. Right now, suzerain, you should clean up the yellow bird first, that's the top priority."
The Ghost King looked at him without saying a word, and the arena fell silent for a moment.
A trace of worry flashed in Qinglong's eyes, Youji next to him couldn't see any expression because of the black veil covering her face, but she didn't look very relaxed. You Ji looked through the black veil, turned around on Ghost Li and Ghost King, then glanced into the distance, suddenly startled. Among the four righteous people in the distance, Lu Xueqi stood silently at the end, her face was cold, but her eyes were fixed on Gui Li from afar.
Under that frosty face, there seemed to be an unknown faint care.
You Ji suddenly stretched out her hand and gently pushed Qinglong.
Qinglong was a little worried, and suddenly felt something, turned back to look at You Ji, and saw You Ji's black gauze swaying slightly, moving towards the ghost king's figure. He and You Ji were listed as the four great envoys of Ghost King Zong back then, so he didn't know what she was thinking, but at the moment he was not without worries.
After pondering for a while, Qinglong finally walked gently behind the Ghost King, and said in a low voice: "Sovereign, what Ghost Li said is not unreasonable. Now that the yellow bird has surrendered, we'd better settle it first, otherwise, within the Dead Marsh, Both the Wandu and Hehuan factions are there, and there is fear of a change."
The ghost king turned his head to look at Qinglong, nodded slowly, and said: "What you said is very true." Then there was a faint flash of light in his eyes, and he said to Gui Li: "In that case, I will leave this place to you."
Gui Li silently nodded and said, "Don't worry about it."
The ghost king looked at him again, smiled suddenly, turned and walked away. Qinglong behind him smiled at Gui Li, and followed immediately.
You Ji followed slowly, when passing by Gui Li, Gui Li looked at her and nodded slightly.
You Ji's black yarn shook slightly, but she walked over without saying anything.
※※※
After Ghost King and his group disappeared, Gui Li slowly turned around and looked at Fa Ping and others.
Faxiang coughed, took a step forward, and said, "Junior Brother Zhang..."
Gui Li said coldly: "My name is Gui Li."
Fa Xiang was suffocated, Lin Jingyu who was behind him frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaofan, why are you doing this? I know that you are kind at heart, but you were killed by a traitor back then, and that's why you strayed into the devil's way..."
When Fa Xiang heard this, he was quite harsh, but he just smiled wryly and didn't say a word.
I only heard Lin Jingyu continue: "...as long as you are willing to turn around, I believe that with Daoxuan's broad-minded attitude, you will definitely be allowed to return to Qingyun."
Gui Li said indifferently: "Why should I turn back?"
Lin Jingyu's body shook, and he fixed his eyes on this former childhood friend in front of him, and saw him standing there, with an indescribably cold feeling, saying: "The world is not benevolent, and all things are treated as dogs! I'm walking on this road well, so I don't need you to rescue me."
Lu Xueqi stood at the end, her body seemed to tremble slightly. Standing beside her, Zeng Shushu saw her expression and frowned slightly, but did not speak.
Lin Jingyu had an angry look on his face, he took a step forward, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Fa Xiang.
Faxiang looked at Lin Jingyu, shook his head lightly at him, and said in a low voice: "He is already deeply possessed, you can't act too hastily, otherwise it will be counterproductive!"
Lin Jingyu originally stopped Fa Xiang with a look of anger, but after hearing what he said, he finally knew what he said was true. He turned his head to look at Ghost Li again, his heart softened, thinking of the time when his childhood sweethearts played together, he finally gritted his teeth and backed away.
Fa Xiang pondered for a moment, then said to Gui Li: "Ghost Li benefactor, whether you admit it or not, we always have a relationship. Now that the emperor's treasury has been destroyed, it seems that there are no peerless treasures, so let's say goodbye!"
Gui Li snorted, looked at Faxiang, then looked at the others, looked at Lin Jingyu, looked at Zeng Shushu, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Xueqi's face.
That cold woman stood at the end, her complexion was frosty, her eyes were watery, deep and invisible, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart
Gui Li withdrew his gaze and stopped talking, turned around and left.
Not long after walking, he faintly heard someone chasing up behind him, Gui Li frowned, turned around to look, and was startled suddenly, but it was Zeng Shushu who was chasing him up, looking at Fa Ping's face behind him, he seemed a little stunned.
Zeng Shushu ran in front of him, turned his back to Fa Peng and others, stared at Gui Li for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said with a smile: "You won't kill me, will you?"
Gui Li looked at him, looked at his smile, it seemed that it hadn't changed at all from the time when he met on Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, he was still so cheerful. After a while, his gaze finally calmed down, but his voice was still as calm as water, and he said, "What's the matter?"
Zeng Shushu said "tsk tsk" twice, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Anyway, I still regard you as a friend. As for what you think, I have no choice." After blinking a few times, he said in a low voice, "Brother, let me hug this three-eyed monkey?"
Gui Li was stunned for a moment, the scene of Zeng Shushu pestering him for Xiao Hui suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable warmth in his heart. In fact, he grew up in Qingyun Mountain, and he has deep feelings for every plant and tree on the Big Bamboo Peak of Qingyun Mountain, not to mention Zeng Shushu, one of the few friends.
Seeing that Ghost Li didn't speak, Zeng Shushu didn't seem to show disdain or objection, and felt happy for a while. He has always been extremely clever, and he still has a heavy heart for Gui Li, a friend who has fallen into the devil's way. It's just that he knows that Zhang Xiaofan's temperament is persevering and stubborn, he would rather die to protect a promise back then, one can imagine, because of this matter, he suffered a lot back then.
So all these years, in order to pull this friend out of the evil way, Zeng Shushu secretly thought of many ways by himself, but in the end he could only come to one point - it is better to be slow than hasty.
At this moment, Zeng Shushu's eyes fell on Xiao Hui who was lying on Gui Li's shoulder, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Hui, it's me! Do you still recognize me?"
Xiao Hui lay lazily on Gui Li's shoulder, for some reason, the monkey's face was flushed, a bit like an ordinary person who had drunk too much. After Zeng Shushu yelled several times, it opened its monkey eyes weakly, glanced at Zeng Shushu, squeaked twice impatiently, and closed its eyes again.
But Zeng Shushu wasn't angry at all, he seemed to like him very much, the words "saliva" were clearly written on his forehead.
Gui Li looked at Zeng Shushu's expression, as if it hadn't changed in the past ten years, he sighed suddenly, and said: "Forget it! It's tired today, if there is a chance to meet again in the future, let's talk about it then."
Zeng Shushu looked at Xiao Hui reluctantly, nodded his head, then moved his gaze to Gui Li's face.
Gui Li said indifferently: "In the future, if the righteous and the evil confront each other, you and I will fight against each other, you can do whatever you want. As for..." He raised his eyes to look at Zeng Shushu, and after a long while, he said slowly: "You and I have different ways, so we must be enemies, but we In my heart, I still regard you as a friend."
Zeng Shushu was overjoyed, smiling all over his face, nodded vigorously, stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Gui Li's shoulder vigorously, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he took it back. Immediately, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly seemed to think of something, a snicker appeared on the corner of his mouth, he reached into his arms and took out something, but it was a rather old book with a blue cover, there was no writing on the cover, and he didn't know it was a what book
Gui Li frowned, for some reason, this book seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.
Zeng Shushu quietly put the book into Gui Li's hand, and said with a soft smile, "Everyone is a brother, see you for the first time in ten years, I will give you a small gift."
Gui Li looked at Zeng Shushu's appearance, his smile was full of joy, but there was also a sense of inexplicable obscenity, he frowned and looked at the book in his hand, opened it casually...
"ah!"
Even with Ghost Li's current calmness and concentration, his body still trembled and he hastily closed the book. The content of this book is impressively many words and pictures, the pictures are full of naked men and women, but it was ten years ago, when they were still young, they had written the erotic book on Tongtian Peak that they wanted to exchange for Xiao Hui.
"You..." Gui Li was speechless for a moment, unable to speak.
Zeng Shushu glared at him and said, "If you don't want both of us to be ruined, then don't speak loudly."
Gui Li stared at him, feeling an inexplicable confusion in his heart. He should have thought that this person was messing around, but for some reason, this seemingly boring action suddenly made him a lot closer to Zeng Shushu in front of him. It's like coming back again.
Zeng Shushu smiled at him, turned around and walked back. He was quick to gain wisdom, but he really had a deep meaning. If he wanted to bring this friend back from the evil way, he must first recognize himself as a friend. Now he took the risk of being ridiculed by everyone for doing such a silly thing, it really left Gui Li speechless, presumably when they meet again in the future, the relationship between the two will be much better than now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
Fa Xiang waited for him to walk back, saw him smiling, and said, "Senior Brother Zeng, why are you so happy?"
Zeng Shushu was in a good mood, he made a face at Dharma, and said, "The Buddha said: Don't say it, don't say it!"
Fa Xiang smiled, and glanced at Gui Li in the distance, he saw that man standing there, holding a thick blue book in his hand, his complexion seemed a bit complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Shaking his head immediately, he said to the others: "The matter here is over, let's go too! Let's talk about it later."
Zeng Shushu nodded first, and then Lin Jingyu and Lu Xueqi silently nodded in agreement.
The four of them turned into four-color lights, soared into the sky, circled in mid-air, and then went away.
Standing on the huge tree trunk, Gui Li suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something. His eyes immediately fell on the book in his hand, and then he raised his hand, as if he was about to throw the book out, but suddenly smiled wryly, and finally took the book back and put it in his arms.
Afterwards, he took a deep breath, took another breath, cheered up, and said, "Xiao Hui, let's go out!"
Xiao Hui didn't even open his eyes this time, and yelled twice vaguely: "Zhi Zhi, Zhi Zhi." I don't know if it was an answer.
Ghost Li smiled slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, he took the Soul Eater magic weapon, turned into blue light, flew away like electricity, and left the giant tree.
※※※
Ghost Li galloped over the Dead Marsh, flying through the mist and miasma like flying through the clouds. He came out of Nei Ze, identified the direction a little in mid-air, and then flew towards the place where the ghost king Zong had arranged in Outer Ze.
His flying speed is naturally extremely fast, but the Death Marsh is really vast. After flying for less than half an hour, what he can see in front of him is still a vast sea of grass and emerald green. Although I don't know how many death traps there are below, but looking at it from mid-air, the scenery is picturesque and refreshing.
But when he was about to fly to the place where the Ghost King Sect's men and horses were, Ghost Li frowned suddenly, and there was a faint familiar smell of blood in the air, which drifted away with the wind.
Gui Li's expression changed, he let out a soft whistle, and suddenly the blue light under his feet became brighter, and he rushed down from the sky.
A sharp blue light descended from the sky, and with a strong wind, it flew over the green grass pond. The invisible wind blows the water of Caohai Pool to both sides, causing ripples on the water.
Soon, Gui Li saw the place where the Ghost King Sect's people gathered, and saw that many people were still gathered here, it seemed that at least most of them were safe, so he was half relieved.
At this time, the disciples of the Ghost King Sect also noticed Ghost Li descending from the sky, and stood up one after another.
Gui Li fell down and stood on the ground, but his first reaction was to frown even tighter. The bloody smell here is extremely strong. It seems that the bloody smell that was smelled in the sky just now is emitted from here.
The disciples of the Ghost King Sect stood with their heads bowed. Although Ghost Li hadn't killed people indiscriminately these years, he practiced the way of the devil, his temperament changed drastically, and his body often exuded cruelty involuntarily. The most awe-inspiring person is him, a rising star.
At this time, a person came out from the crowd, it was a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite handsome, it was Yan Hui.
I saw him stepping forward, saluted Gui Li, and said: "Deputy Sect Master, you are back."
Gui Li nodded and said, "What's wrong here?"
Yan Hui hesitated to speak, he signaled Gui Li with his eyes, Gui Li understood, and walked forward. Yan Hui glanced around and said loudly: "The deputy suzerain is back, everyone stick to their posts, don't panic."
Everyone responded in unison, and then dispersed.
Yan Hui quickly followed Gui Li, and said in a low voice: "You follow me."
After all, he strode to the remote place on the right. The two walked for a while, and came to a place with lush grass. The wild grass was as tall as half a person. Although there was no one around, the smell of blood in the air was getting heavier.
Gui Li looked at Yan Hui, Yan Hui's face was also slightly pale, and he said in a low voice: "Look for yourself!" After saying that, he walked to the grass and pushed the weeds away.
Gui Li stepped forward slowly, looked into the grass, his face changed drastically in an instant. I saw that the grass looked the same as the surrounding area, but the center was completely stained with blood, and the smell of blood came to the nostrils, making me want to vomit. Under the thick grass, there were actually thirteen human corpses piled up. The death conditions were horrible, and almost everyone's body was shattered into several pieces.
Rao is that Gui Li has been in the Demon Cult for these years and is used to seeing bloody storms, but this is the first time he has seen such cruel methods.
He closed his eyes, collected himself, and then his face returned to calm, and he walked forward slowly, carefully inspecting these bones.
Yan Hui followed behind him and said in a low voice: "These disciples were all arranged to guard here last night. This place is the farthest from where our brigade is, and it is the furthest eyeliner we have deployed. These people are also quite capable. Unexpectedly, last night, all of them were slaughtered without making a sound."
Gui Li's face was gloomy, his eyes became colder, and he said slowly: "Who is the murderer? Do you have a clue?"
Yan Hui didn't answer right away, but said: "Deputy Suzerain, come here to have a look."
Gui Li glanced at him, and saw Yan Hui stepping over these horrific corpses and walking towards the depths of the grass. Deeper in the grass, there was another corpse, but this person's body was relatively intact, only one left hand disappeared.
The corners of Gui Li's eyes twitched slightly, he knew this person, his name was Xu Chonghai, he was a person of high morals under him, unexpectedly he died here.
I saw Yanhui walked to Xu Chonghai's side and said, "Look."
Gui Li walked closer, looked down, and suddenly saw Xu Chonghai's only remaining right hand scratching two words on the mud next to Xu Chonghai's head:
Fish - strange.
The word "fish" is quite clear, but the second word "weird" is already confused. It seems that Xu Chonghai is exhausted.
"Fish monster?" Gui Li frowned.
Yan Hui nodded and said: "I don't know what this means. Could it be that there are fish monsters nearby? But after I found them today, I immediately searched around, but I didn't find any fish monsters at all."
Gui Li turned around slowly, walked out of the grass, Yan Hui also followed. The bad smell in the air was still heavy, but it seemed much fresher than the grass.
Gui Li took a deep breath, and suddenly said: "Where is the killing monk! Why isn't he here?"
Yan Hui was silent for a while, and said: "After seeing this scene in the morning, he was furious. Later, from Xu Chonghai's hand gestures, he somehow figured out that the mysterious fish monsters were going south, so he chased them alone. I tried to persuade him not to listen. And... "
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly stopped.
Gui Li glanced at him and said, "What?"
A trace of hatred flashed across Yanhui's face, and he said: "Originally, the deputy suzerain strictly ordered us not to have conflicts with the Hehuan faction and the Wandu sect until you came back, but I think this bloody case this morning may be caused by the Wandu sect or the Wandu sect." The poisonous hands sent by He Huan secretly took people to where they were, wanting to find out what happened. If they really did what they did, they will naturally take revenge."
Gui Li said indifferently: "It happened suddenly, you were not at fault. After that, what happened after that?"
Yan Hui hesitated for a moment, and said: "This is beyond my expectation. The people of the Wandu Sect had all withdrawn from the Dead Marsh for unknown reasons the day before, and the Hehuan Sect..." He looked Gui Li said in a low voice: "It seems that the same thing happened to us, more than twenty people died."
Ghost Li's face changed slightly, and said: "Is there such a thing?"
Yan replied: "That's right, I checked it out myself, and I just came back."
Gui Li remained silent, standing there, seemed to be deep in thought.
Yan Hui didn't dare to disturb for a while, but after a long time, Gui Li still didn't speak, and couldn't help but whispered: "Deputy Sect Master, what should we do now?"
Gui Li didn't directly answer Yan Hui's words, instead, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to look at him, and said, "Before I came back, did the Sect Master Ghost King come here?"
Yan Hui's expression changed, then he nodded and said, "Yes."
A faint light flashed in Gui Li's eyes, and said, "What did he say?"
Yan replied: "The suzerain came together with Qinglong and Suzaku, the old man came to see the situation around here, his face was very ugly, but in the end he only said: 'All affairs here will be handled by the deputy suzerain ’ After that, he left with the two holy envoys.”
Gui Li remained expressionless, and remained silent for a while. Naturally, Yan Hui didn't know that the relationship between the King of Ghosts and Ghost Li had suddenly become somewhat delicate, so he could only watch him from the sidelines.
After a while, Gui Li nodded and said: "You have handled this matter very well. Now the death marsh has come to an end, from now on, you should immediately lead your subordinates to leave here and return to Huqi Mountain."
Yan Hui nodded and said, "What about you, the deputy suzerain?"
Gui Li turned his head and looked at the long white clouds in the sky, where it looked pure and flawless, who would have imagined how many bloody things would happen under it
He said calmly: "Although the killing monk was a little impulsive, the tracking technique is unique. The origin of these fish monsters is unknown, and they killed my subordinates. Naturally, I will continue to track them down."
Yan Hui lowered his head slightly behind his back and said, "Yes."
Gui Li nodded and said, "You go!"
After finishing speaking, he gradually turned his eyes to the south, only to see the vast sea of grass and the wind passing through the dead marsh, and he didn't know what secrets were hidden.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious fish-headed monster who suddenly attacked Xiaohuan when he met with Jin Ping'er and Qin Wuyan a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind...
